Resin Jewellery Making
Something new I've got into making.
I've found a new joy in creating resin jewellery is fairly easy to do to, once you have the correct items to make it. Tried a few times and failed, but finally I've achieved it.
Please Come and Join Us Saturday the 5th of Dec 2020, at 2pm, for Christmas Story Telling, and Song Time, for Additional Needs Children and others.

As a craft tie dye has become something new to learn to and brand myself with. I've always been fascinated with it and how to it. I aim to make more and possibly my own dye's, if that works? I did some workshops at Made In Roath a Couple of years ago, found it really to do. Once you have all the right equipment. So if you like what you see?
I can arrange orders in person or via Email? I can do some requests of colour's and or styles and what product you want dyed to?
My Card Designs
Making and Designing cards, are always something I'm keen to create and make, either to get printed or by hand? I always looking at news how to tell the Christian Christmas story, since being a Christian and wanting to share the good news of Jesus, and not having many opportunities to do so. Images I find are one people can express their passions and points of view, without always stepping on too many toes, within reason. I'm open to new ways and ideas in creating cards and my designs though. Why not commission me a card design?

Ceramic Tile Decorating
During lockdown, ceramic Tile Decorating, is something else I have gotten into learning. I have found that there are a few ways you can do this, this is just one way that I've been doing it. I've used some very special Aqteza Paints, are very cool to create my own designs with. First picture below are a set of four, larger Ceramic Titles, that could go on the wall, or be used as Hot Plates when cooking, or in the Centre of your table. I've also done some Coasters to. I aim to do full sets with placemats to. But if anyone interested, please do not hesitate to enquire about them.

First Set of Commissioned Placemats.
I also managed to complete this commission, by a couple we know, thank you so much to your generosity and patience, it is much appreciated. T-shirt Studios are where I print from, cheapest placemats I can find, to get personalised. If anyone is interested in commissioning me for any, with any style of artwork, within reason, think of styles I've already shown on my website. I charge £8 for each Placemat, as they cost £6 to get Printed and £2 for Delivery, though if I am to send the items to you, I will need to charge for £2 Delivery at least. No matter how many placemats or things you order from them. I have a Feedback Page now to, so please check out what the couple have to say about the finished products.
My Mary Poppins Handmade Stencils & Spray Paint Artwork.
Since Spray paints are something else I love to create things with, mainly because you can use them for many different designs and on different surfaces, within reason, where allowed, as not all will go on Fabrics and Wood for example. Though most of them work well in an Art Book, on Paper, or on a Canvas. This one below is all made out of Paper. My Mum has it on her wall and kindly paid for a hand made frame. It's also a favourite story and film of mine. I aim to do more and like this and by doing one's with lights to, as shown below, with the reindeer forest 3D light box scene.
Crayon Art
As an art form, #crayonart really says it all in the title.
All you need:
-
A Blank Canvas or Paper, possibly other surfaces to?
-
Wax Crayons, a particular type from supermarket shop
like Tesco, I found where these easiest to melt.
-
A Heat Craft Gun,
-
Glue, or a Glue Gun,
as sticks better I found and a fair bit of time.
Stencil Art Using White Acrylic Gesso Paint
This is an art form, that I can thoroughly recommend, a true joy when you peel off a stencil, after painting over it and it works perfectly. There has been less times of failing with this type of art to. Perfect on lots of surfaces: wood, canvas, paper and others to, that I have yet to try using Acrylic White Gesso paint, such a cool 3D likeness that it creates. Would love to do it on walls one day.
I Did this 2D Logo Design for 'The Buzy Bee, Sewing Group,' with Kerry Moriah, at the Taff Housing Location, in Canton, in Cardiff. And Joined briefly in Sept 2019.
